Keyboard Shortcuts

The help sheet that opens when the user presses ? — a modal listing every keyboard shortcut in the app, grouped by area, with the key caps drawn per platform. Use it as soon as an app has shortcuts worth discovering: an editor, inbox or mail client, issue tracker, admin dashboard, IDE-like tool, dev tool, chat or any keyboard-first product where power users expect ? to explain itself. Common asks it answers: "keyboard shortcuts dialog", "keyboard shortcuts modal", "shortcuts help sheet", "press ? to see shortcuts", "shortcut cheat sheet", "hotkey list", "keymap overlay", "GitHub/Gmail/Linear-style shortcuts help", "show all hotkeys", "⌘K help screen". shadcn/ui ships nothing for this and its kbd is a bare key cap, so the sheet, the grouping, the ?-to-open wiring and the cross-platform key rendering are hand-rolled every time. Pass a `shortcuts` array of `{ keys, description, group? }`; groups render in the order they first occur, so the array is the outline. Write `"Mod"` in keys and it renders ⌘ on Apple platforms and Ctrl everywhere else — one source of truth instead of a Mac branch through your docs — and the literal token `"then"` renders as text rather than a cap so chords read as G then P. It documents shortcuts rather than binding them: your app already owns the handlers, and a component that registered them too would fight whatever hotkey library you use. The only key it owns is the one that opens it, and that listener ignores presses while focus is in an input, textarea, select or contenteditable, so typing "?" in a message box does not throw a modal over the composer. Platform detection runs in an effect, not during render — `navigator` does not exist on the server, so an inline branch would crash SSR or hydrate to different markup than it sent. Accessibility is the part that is easy to get wrong: the key caps are aria-hidden and each row carries an sr-only spoken form, because a screen reader meeting ⌘ announces "place of interest sign" or nothing at all, so the row reads "Open search, Command K"; opening moves focus into the dialog, which is what announces it, instead of a live region that would read the whole sheet twice; Tab is trapped, Escape closes, focus returns to whatever was focused before, and the scrolling list is itself focusable so a long list can be scrolled from the keyboard. Composes the kbd component for the caps. Styled with shadcn tokens (popover, muted-foreground, ring, border) for light and dark themes; lucide-react is the only dependency. Distinct from command-palette, which is a ⌘K launcher for running commands: this one is the reference card that tells users the shortcuts exist.
